From the Paper:

"With the formation of the European Union, many of these regulations were either superceded or removed to foster additional competitive forces within the labor and economic markets. Workers were allowed to move from one employer to another faster with the elimination of employment contracts, and more eager employers. The existing hiring process had been a lengthy one due to this difficult firing process. "Government-run job creation measures have made some impact on joblessness, but of greater significance is the growing flexibility of the labour market combined with a quickening of economic growth across the continent" (Lloyd, 22, 2000). Employers were now cutting this time because of an increased ability to release non-performing employees easier."
